A. Johnsen

My favorite place to go every time I visit Vancouver. It’s one of the best gluten free bakeries I know (and I like to visit lots of gluten free bakeries)

angela k

Great find! everything was gluten free! so many options and not needing to ask for modifications for gluten free! and the food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!

David Alexander

Amazing chicken sandwich and gluten free which is fantastic! Will definitely be back.

S L (Friend)

Gluten-free specialty store. I was very satisfied with the taste, which didn't feel like it was gluten-free. The employees are kind and it's a recommended place. Some people can also speak Korean.

Danielle Truong

Delicious fish and chips, super appreciate the separate frier for gluten free items.

Jason Whitmore

vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨 Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.

Solid 5 stars!!! EVERYTHING is gluten free. The cafe is beautiful and so zen. I got a green onion & cheddar scone and was recommended the blueberry apple crumble muffin. Delicious!

danisa

Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.

Adam Highway

My husband and I brought a couple of out of town friends here Wednesday night, as we've always enjoyed the food before. There were SOME problems that night - mistakes with the orders, etc - but I can't praise Agatha enough! She was extremely friendly, apologetic for any issues, very attentive to me (celiac) and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. The food was delicious, as always. I highly recommend visiting!

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Our poutine came out just warm, but was tasty. The onion rings were really good. Cool vibe in there. Fantastic gluten free and vegan options. Totally vegetarian restaurant.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Ronda Stewart

Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”. We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling. The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails. I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.

Kaila Motz

BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

Linda Gavsie

Lots of options for celiacs

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.

André Paris

I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

Jessica Doig

Gluten free waffles with caramel sauce and sautéed bananas. Amazing!! You can also substitute the gf waffles as a savoury base for their eggs Benedicts. So scrumptious!

Sean McEvoy

Best gluten free food in the city! Incredibly accommodating for other dietary restrictions. Varied selection of delicious craft cocktails

J

Ordered a few gluten free cakes from vegan bakery Edible Flours. - Green velvet ($60.00 for 6" GF) - best of the three. Decent matcha flavour - Raspalicious ($60.00 for 6" GF) - texture lacking, mute flavour. Wanted more raspberry - S'mores ($60.00 for 6" GF) - bland EF's cakes are nowhere close to the quality of the other, better GF bakeries in town.

Jena Peterson

We LOVED the food! Gluten free menu,, handmade blue corn tortillas, and the flavor was fantastic! When we come back to visit Vancouver this is one of the restaurants we will return to. Thank you for the fabulous and high quality food!

Nikul Sharma

We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.

Becca

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

A M

Went here tonight with my mom and we had a lovely time! Our male bartender was fantastic. Gluten free options are available and taste great! The sushi was fantastic. I definitely recommend coming here.

RIZZO 250

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Christopher Black

Service was amazing. Food was mediocre; brisket was good but lacked flavour; ribs were tough and dry; mac and cheese was spicy, but needed someone else; chicken was good and it was gluten free.

Malcolm Fletcher

Best little gem in Vancouver. Seasonal menu with fantastic tastes of Vietnam with attentive staff and exceptional gluten free options!

Julias H

Great food at an awesome price, terrific service and extensive gluten-free options. Highly recommend the chopped scallop roll.

Natalia Reszka

Easily the top ice cream in Vancouver! All the flavors are so good and their waffle cones are truly the best I have ever had! The lines always move super quickly and staff are super sweet. This time around had the seasonal almond + sour cherry and brookie dough, which was actually from May’s menu. The brookie dough was UNREAL and it was also gluten free as well which is great that they were considerate of that. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Katie Simpson

Overall, a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious, and so many gluten free options. Most options are dairy free, too. I appreciated this so much I came back 3 times in a week! Be sure to order toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) with your food. It is the best!!!! Only reason I’m docking a star is service related. I ordered for pickup to eat in my hotel room, and two out of three times they failed to include the cutlery, despite me both checking the box for cutlery, and also putting in the comments. Staying in a hotel, you don’t have access to cutlery, so please be sure to pay attention to customers who request it and provide it for them!! Didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it is beautiful inside :)

Justin Malhi

A lot of gluten free options, pricey but the food is very solid. Waitress was kind and the vibe was lovely!

Cassie D

Really enjoyed this place. Manager was lovely. Very accommodating to gf options but have your wits about you as I see other people have had reactions from here. Does indeed have a separate gf fryer and happy to accommodate different sauce in burger as ‘Special Sauce’ has Worcestershire sauce in it (ie not gf) Thought paying $4 extra for gf bun was a bit steep but overall good place, lovely server and great vibes (especially music)

I absolutely love The Acorn. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or a special night out. The menu is creative and beautifully presented, offering a wide range of seasonal, locally-sourced vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Every dish feels like a work of art, bursting with flavor and texture. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable staff who are genuinely passionate about the food and happy to accommodate dietary preferences. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about plant-based cuisine, The Acorn will exceed your expectations with its innovative approach to wholesome, delicious food. The cocktails are also outstanding, with unique, well-crafted drinks that pair perfectly with the dishes. Overall, The Acorn offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you eager to return.

One of the healthiest delicious middle eastern food I have had in a while! I was a bit hesitant to visit due to mixed reviews here and I am so happy I listened to my instincts and visited this gem of a restaurant today. The service and food was beyond incredible! The restaurant is so cozy and spacious. Ample street parking available and my sister has celiac allergy for diary and gluten, so we were also able to get customized food based on her restrictions.

Aislinn Flanagan

I’ve always loved coming here. Today was probably my 6th-8th visit, and I can say with confidence that Hello Nori is very consistent. The yellowtail hand roll with Shiso leaf added is my favourite. The by the glass sake options are great and they all pair well with the rolls. Lisa was my server today and she was excellent. She checked in lots and made sure that the chef was aware of my gluten intolerance. Gold star for Hello Nori, I will be back!

Have been missing Red Robins since they closed all their Alberta locations! If you have any food restrictions, don't look at their allergen menu online, just ask your server. I have celiac and it was showing almost everything to have gluten, even the beef burger patties. Luckily that was not the actual case! Server was knowledgeable about what sauces and ingredients had gluten, and shared that fries can be made in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My meal also came out with the purple allergen stick. I do however have to take stars off for the physical aspects of the location...menu had several sticky spots, carpet looked filthy and sticky, bathroom floors were even stickier! Very unappealing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were in a booth and the back of the seat would move from both sides, uncomfortable when people are sitting on both sides and it kept moving! Service was also quite slow, especially considering it was lunchtime on a weekday and there were not many other customers present

Kaley Merritt

Went there to celebrate with a group of 5 people. The wait staff were very friendly, I was greeted by each server I passed as I came in. The servers were always nearby to assist when needed and the owner was walking throughout the restaurant helping to attend to each table. The service was a 10/10 and noticeably better than most restaurants. The food was incredible and so flavourful. We ordered most of not all the appetizers to share and they were amazing. We had a vegetarian in our group and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. They also had a variety of gluten free and dairy free options too. I will definitely be returning to try their entrees. The lamb popsicles are what I have my eye on for next time. They also had an extensive drink list which included a good variety of non alcoholic options too. Are the prices high? a bit but food costs have increased and most restaurants have had to adjust their prices for this reason. For the experience and the value of the dishes, it’s reasonable. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and dimly lit. We all enjoyed our time there and I will definitely be going back again soon!

5 stars Havana on Commercial Drive is an absolute gem in Vancouver! 🌟🇨🇺 From the moment we walked in, the energy was buzzing ⚡ — warm, vibrant, and so welcoming. The décor is colorful 🎨, the music is lively 🎶, and the whole vibe just feels like a mini vacation! ☀️🌴 Perfect for date night ❤️, casual hangouts 🍻, or even solo chill time. Food: We went all in — and wow. 🤤 We had the Cubano sandwich 🥪, pulled pork tacos 🌮, and plantain chips with guac 🍌🥑 to start. Every bite = flavor explosion. 💥 The Cubano was perfectly pressed and cheesy 🧀, the tacos were juicy and fresh, and those plantains… dreamy. Don’t skip dessert either — the churros were warm, crispy, and dipped in chocolate heaven 🍫🔥. Drinks: Cocktails were on point — we tried the Mojito 🍃🍸 and the Havana Old Fashioned 🥃. So refreshing and bold. Bartenders here know their craft. 👨‍🍳👏 Service: Service was amazing! 🙌 Everyone we met was friendly 😄, super helpful, and genuinely passionate about the place. Shoutout to our server for solid recos and great vibes the whole time ✨💬 Atmosphere: Cozy inside 🛋️, but the patio is a total vibe 🌇🔥. It’s heated, covered, and perfect for people-watching on The Drive. Great music, cool art on the walls 🖼️, and the whole place has that laid-back but buzzing feel. Pro tips: • 📅 Book ahead on weekends — it gets packed! • 🍳 Check out brunch — it’s a hidden gem. • 🥗 Plenty of veggie + gluten-free options! • 🎭 Bonus: there’s a theatre in the back for local performances. So cool! Final thoughts: This spot gets it. ✅ Food slaps, drinks hit, staff rules, and the vibe is immaculate. 💯 Havana is easily one of my fav spots on The Drive. Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Vibe: 11/10 Run, don’t walk. 🌮✨🍹🍽️🔥🌴🎉💃🕺💯 Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious! Great vegan and gluten free options. So good. I love it.

Francisco Matz Trujillo

Service may improve though seemed to be shorthanded on a Sunday evening. Food was good, fish and chips (rice flour batter is an excellent solution for gluten issues).

L.D.

Very good! I got a single scoop gluten-free waffle cone with two flavors. I also really wanted the walnut caramel crunch as a topping on the cone. This is under there sundae list. I asked for it in a container with the cone upside down on top. It was amazing!!! My husband is a mild celiac. The server took extra care by washing the scoop in the sink with soap and hot water. He had the gluten free waffle cone with two scoops. He said this was some of the best two types of ice creams he has had. He got the mint chocolate chip (the chocolate shavings were thin enough to melt in the mouth), and the peanut butter chocolate chip.

Good food and gluten free options. They are very good about no cross contamination.

William Parsons

We tried: The Rib Pork Bites, they fell off the bone and melted in your mouth The Yam Fries were tasty (and vegan/Gluten free!) Chicken K... something, were delicious. Recommend all of these to anyone who likes food.
